Hello,
My career background started with joining a Marketing Graduate Scheme. I had no IT skills, but was keen to learn programming. A few years on and I have now built over 50 apps running across iPhone, Android and Windows Phone platforms.
I am sure there are others out there who are equally passionate and motivated to learn how to develop iOS apps, but maybe don't know where to look. So, I decided to note down the steps I took to learn app development, so that hopefully others could also learn to do the same. Here are the steps I took:
1. I read become an xcoder.
This document taught me the basics of coding and is written in an easy to read, bulleted format:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/become-xcoder-english-version/id517586747?mt=11
2. I downloaded Xcode.
To build apps on an actual device or for the app store you need to pay some money, but to build an app and run it through the simulator it is free. So suggest having a go at that first:
https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
3. Watched a few example of how to build a basic 'Hello World' app, e.g:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3-zGNXXJtg
4. I ran through some Stanford University free lectures on iPhone dev:

Best of luck
